The Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad hung tough all game Saturday but couldn’t quite catch up to visiting Sultan.
The Turks hit just enough shots down the stretch to maintain their lead, eventually heading back to the bus with a 59-49 win.
The non-conference loss drops the Wolves to 1-2 on the season, with two games on the schedule for next week.
Coupeville’s JV boys host Sedro-Woolley Thursday, Dec. 15, then travel to Forks two days later.
After that, the CHS young guns are off until Jan. 6, when they return to their own gym to host Orcas Island in the Northwest 2B/1B League opener.
Saturday night, Hunter Smith’s squad was down just 14-11 at the end of the first quarter, before Sultan pushed the halftime lead out to 38-30.
A modest 10-9 run in the third quarter, with four different Wolves scoring, kept things reasonable, but Sultan closed effectively, racking up a 12-9 advantage in the final frame.
Freshman Chase Anderson led Coupeville, banging away for a season-high 17 points and scoring in each quarter.
He rippled the net for a three-ball as well.
Johnny Porter and Aiden O’Neill chipped in with nine points apiece to back Anderson, while Camden Glover and Hurlee Bronec each banked home six.
Coupeville’s final bucket came courtesy Landon Roberts, with Malachi Somes, Jack Porter, and Mikey Robinett also seeing floor time for the Wolves.
It was the season debut for Glover and Roberts.
